The development of business continuity plans often requires the involvement of several persons, because the plan has to consider multiple views such as business, operation, financial, etc. Since these people normally have low experience on developing BCPs, it is the role of the BC manager / implementer to coordinate their efforts, guiding them on the identification of needed information and resources, defining objectives and activation/deactivation conditions, etc. On some cases, after gathering all the information, they can elaborate the part of the plan that involves the activities they will be involved with, while you can write the parts more related to the Business Continuity Management System (e.g., communication plan).

To see how a BCP looks like, I suggest you to take a look at the free demo of our Business Continuity Plan at this link: https://advisera.com/27001academy/documentation/business-continuity-plan/
